About Gay Times

Parry Glasspool plays one of the most famous gay characters currently on British TV. He's not just easy on the eye; his role as Harry in Hollyoaks has a far-reaching and positive impact on young men around the UK, giving them the strength to come out to their families. We undress Parry for a steamy cover shoot and dive into his career, his future ambitions and what it's like kissing Kieron Richardson over and over and over again.
In what is one of the most alarming recent atrocities against the LGBT+ community, we run our own investigation into what exactly is happening on the ground in Chechnya, and what you can do to help.

Speaking of which: with a snap general election looming, we hear from the LGBT+ politicians who want our vote. And for our readers around the globe, the results of the elections in the UK affect you, too. Keep a close eye.
